A320 roadworks

"For residents, the impact on the village has been huge. Increased traffic through Brox Road has left some people effectively feeling trapped.

"When we first contacted the council, we had a mixed response and I printed the t-shirt to try and inject a bit of humour into the situation, but also with the idea that we could potentially raise some funds for a local charity to try and alleviate some of the trauma."

Before the works, burst water mains had caused chaos on the A320, with cars falling into holes created by burst pipes and nearby houses flooded.

A spokesperson for Affinity Water, which is carrying out the work, said: "We are sorry for delays people may be experiencing as a result of the A320 mains replacement works.

"This phase of work is laying 1.3km of new mains from the Brox Road junction to the Ottershaw roundabout. Temporary four way traffic lights are in place to ensure the safety of motorists and our technicians. We are aiming to complete this particular section [by September].

"We would like to thank our customers and commuters for their patience whilst we work to improve the network in the area."
